A number of days into weeks and days-How do you convert the decimal part of 0.571429

Hi

Taking date of the 5-8-2005 from 30-8-2005 then dividing the answer by 7
gives 3.571429.......weeks.
How do you convert the decimal part of 0.571429 into number of days?. i.e. 4
Can an Excel formula give the correct answer of 3 weeks 4 days.

Thank you

=mod(enddate - startsdate,7) will give the number of days.

so

=INT((enddate-startdate)/7)&" weeks "&MOD(enddate-startdate,7)&" days"

returns

3 weeks 4 days

=INT((H1-G1)/7)&" weeks"&IF(MOD(H1-G1,7)=0,"",", "&MOD(H1-G1,7)&" days")

=INT(3.571429)
will give you 3 weeks

=(3.571429-INT(3.571429))*7
will give you 4 days

Replace 3.571429 with your formula
